Casting

The season also saw the departure of Geoff Morrell and Martin Sacks, who chose to take time off to spend with their families. Sacks's departure left Julie Nihill and John Wood as the only remaining original cast members; and the only cast members to have been on this show since before 2001.

Guest actors included Jeremy Lindsay Taylor,[1] Val Jellay,[2] John Brumpton,[3] Joy Westmore,[4] Pepe Trevor,[5] Margot Knight,[6] Tracy Mann,[7] Danny Adcock,[8] Paul Dawber,[9] Lynette Curran,[10] Elspeth Ballantyne,[11] Alethea McGrath.[12] and Michael Falzon,[13]

Reception

While the first half of the season, with several high-profile guest stars, maintained the high ratings of the previous season; the second half of the year - which saw the show up against ratings success House saw a decrease in ratings, as well as a gradual mixing of critical reaction, which had initially proved mostly positive.
